Itch to Stitch Summer Classics

Summer in Texas is HOT! However, I work in an office building that is always freezing cold. My favorite pieces for office attire are from Itch to Stitch. They are classy looking and many lend themselves well to layering under a cardigan. I thought I'd round up a few favorites to share in case you need some summer fashion inspiration.


First off the Chai Shirt. I wear this swiss dot sleeveless Chai Shirt frequently during the summer.


I wouldn't wear swiss dot any other time of year and this one looks great with jeans or when I wear it to work with navy pants and a navy cardigan.


I have made a few Chirripo's and have yet to make the version with the flounce sleeves. I love the Chirripo sleeveless. I often wear this particular one with these blue pants and a blue shrug to work.


The wide shoulder straps keep my bra straps covered at all times.


This Isidro Top is one of my favorite items in my closet. I think the Venus Fly Trap print is so fun and unique. I wear it frequently to work with these blue pants. I also have hot pink pants that I also wear with it.


These sleeves can be a bit more challenging with a cardigan, but I have a few with dolman sleeves that work great with it.


The Beausoleil is such a fun top. I love the cold shoulder cutouts. I have made a few of theses and this one is my favorite. 


I always wear white pants with this Beausoleil and take a white cardigan with me when wearing it to work.


I rarely wear my Plitvice all on it's own. It looks great under a jacket for office attire.


Only reason I don't wear this one all on it's own as I made it with a clingy fabric and feel like it shows every roll. I really need to make another in a thicker, less clingy knit as this top is so comfortable and like I said - looks amazing when  layered.


Since summer lasts well into September here in Texas, I still have some summer sewing to do. More Itch to Stitch patterns are on my sewing summer list.

George + Ginger Sincerely Darcy Pants

Kristi of George + Ginger and Darcey of Sincerely Rylee have teamed up to bring you a new pattern that is a fun way to finish off summer. These are the Sincerely Darcey Pants and they are a Free Pattern! Go to each of their Facebook Groups to get the code to make them free.


The Darcey Pants have a cool high-low hem that goes from side to side.


They allow you to still show off a bit of leg, without being in shorts.


But they are just as breezy and comfortable as shorts.


They are like a fancy wide leg capri with sass.


They are seriously comfortable and looks great with flip flops and sandals.


I paired mine with my cold shoulder hacked RuLo. Read all about it HERE!


A lightweight drapey knit is best for the Darcey Pants. I made mine with a poly jersey knit.


Darcey has the perfect fabric for these at Sincerely Rylee. It's called Cupro and is a new type of knit for her to carry. It's a super soft modal blend knit. I can't wait to get my hands on some!



Grab the pattern, then head over to Sincerely Rylee to order some Cupro. Make some Darcey Pants and enjoy the end of Summer!
